Beautiful location and property. Celebrated a birthday with family and friends. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and felt like we were home. Watching the sunset while enjoying a home cooked meal on the back porch was fantastic. Great place for a family vacation.
Great condo in an absolute gorgeous location. Very peaceful and private feeling. Perfect spot for relaxing and watching whales after long day of sight seeing.
Our family recently stayed at this incredible beach front property in Maui! Unfortunately our trip started during the flooding in March 2026, so the pools were closed for a few days and we couldn’t swim in the beach in front of the property, but it was central to many other beaches, perfect location to check out the coastline and has everything we needed! The house could use a few updates, but you can’t beat the view. We saw countless whales from our patio and balcony and the sunsets are remarkable. The only thing that would have made our stay better was staying another week! Hope to come back soon!

Worst vacation rental property of any I have stayed at anywhere in the World. Condo flooded on the first floor. Property manager, host NOR VRBO would help. Always have a backup plan onbyoir own if you use VRBO.
CheckIn took a little bit. We were unable to get ahold of the host right away. The lock had to be rebooted. But once we got ahold of her it was easy. That stuff happens. The place was very clean. Comfortable. The location was ideal! And the VIEW WAS… no words. The whale watching was awesome. I would recommend this rental to ANYONE. It’s fab
The host replied to my messages very quickly. The house was amazing and the view was amazing. We saw whales every day. We had some crumby weather so we weren’t able to use the pool. I think we had the best view out of all of the houses. The house was huge! Perfect for 6 people. If I ever come back I would definitely stay there again!!!
This is one of those places that makes you think "oh yeah, i could live here!". The location and view are amazing. Being able to slide open the doors so you have an unobstructed view of the ocean is only matched by getting to hear the waves crash right there on the beach. The property itself was amazing and had enough space for us, our three children and their grandparents. We found plenty of beach toys, pool floaties, and snorkel masks so we could enjoy the water. There are two pools on the property, one has an amazing view but is a little cooler and the other was just right for the kids to swim in even when it was raining. Located at the bottom of Lahaina, it was easy to get to the grocery store and all the amazing western Maui beaches were less than 30 min away. Diane was very friendly, communicative, and responsive. We didn’t have any issues while we were there but she was great about answering all my questions before we got there in a speedy manner. Already thinking about going back to the same place!
The house was very comfortable and fit our family of seven perfectly. The views were fabulous! We had had everything we needed! We had a great time in Maui.
You are right on the beach in this condo!! We had a great stay with an 8-person group -
Plenty of space and great location close to Front Street - lots to do nearby!

perfect group or family vacation house
This ocean front house was perfect for our group of friends. It's in a private condo neighborhood making it feel like we had our own private beach! The house was perfect for our group of friends, with enough space for everyone to spread out. We would definitely rent again!

We are so happy to hear the unit worked great for you. Thank you for spending your vacation in our home.
The property and community in which it is located is beautiful and well maintained. We loved the convenience of walking out on the lanai and directly to beach access. We are a family of 6 adults and 1 child (14 months old) and enjoyed the ease of the townhouse, yard and beach. The community is quiet and located within walking distance to Lahaina dining/shopping district. This location was a great find for our family.
My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The best location near Lahaina...close enough to be there in minutes, far enough away to feel away from it all. Condo was clean and well equipped. Beds were comfortable...people in the area friendly. Only knocks would be road noise can be a minor nuisance (windows on road side were excellent and road noise did not get through, so no issue sleeping) and ice maker was not working. Would stay again!

We are so happy to hear your family enjoyed their stay. We hope you will consider us next time you visit Maui.
Perfect location. We have rented same condo before and same condo complex another time. Owner was a stickler for not refunding us when covid hit (all others in our group were refunded with no problem), but made good on allowing us to use the credit later. We will definitely be back as we love this area.

Family vacation
Stunning location. We watched many beautiful sunsets & star gazing. Short walk to the pools. Short drive to Lahaina. We would have liked more outdoor chairs to use on the 2nd floor lani. The switch plate in main bath over sink needs to be fixed as well as the door to the room but, that is minor compared to the location.

Idyllic holiday property
This gorgeous beachfront property was perfect for 6 friends on vacation. Close to Lahaina but quiet and secluded. Beach access at our back door with a lovely lanai to watch the sunset from. (Swim shoes recommended due to rocks but swimming was great.) House was very comfortable and lovely. Well appointed kitchen was great for cooking up our Thanksgiving feast. Beds all comfy. Air con was appreciated (but it did struggle to cool down befrooms on top floor). We all agreed we woild love to return here.

Great private surf spot
Stayed at this great place for a magical 5 days with some very good friends. The house comfortably accommodates at least 8 people, but could probably fit more people who were willing to use air mattresses or couches.
The kitchen is great, the patio with ocean view is obviously amazing, but the real cherry on top for our group was that Puamana is basically a private surf break that often has really nice waves. It was perfect for our group of beginner and intermediate surfers. We spent a lot of time just out in front of the house, attempting to surf!

We are so happy to hear the home worked out well for your group. Please think of us on your next vacation.
Puamana Estates is a fantastic community and this condo has a great location and gorgeous view. Truly wonderful on those points! But I felt for the price, the unit itself is in need of some TLC to replace the worn out furniture, kitchen ware, broken blinds, scuffs and scratches etc. It really could be a gem. We appreciated the beach gear and still had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay!
